บท 47: Badly

Abigail was trying to compare their distinct features when suddenly, Alexander pulled her attention back to him.

"Stop staring at him, Little lamb. It makes me want to punish you when you do that," he said, smiling ruefully. Abi didn't flinch at his words this time, maybe because she thought he was just joking again.

"P-punish me? But you said you'd only punish me if I broke those three main rules," she thoughtlessly replied.

Alexander's lips curved up and he cupped her small face. "Abigail, I never said that I would only punish you for breaking just those three main rules. You just assumed that on your own. It would do you well to remember that, okay?" he smiled and Abi gulped. "Actually, I could punish you if I think you are behaving badly."

"B-badly?"

"Mm. Badly."

"Like how?"

"Like what you did just now."

Abi creased her brows. It was obvious that she couldn't figure out how she had behaved badly so she recounted her actions in the last minute.
